The Al Qaeda captors of two hostages who were killed in a January drone strike in Pakistan reportedly received $250,000 in ransom money from the family of American captive Dr. Warren Weinstein in 2012.

A Pakistani intermediary told the New York Post the captors continued to negotiate for weeks after the 73-year-old was killed in the strike.
